Yeh Career best, but you can only play as good as your opponents and the st Kilda backline were struggling!!

For those that can remember, Josh used to play in a helmet, due to a severe concussion, which could have quite easily ended his career there and then.

He had the captaincy at Essendon reserves for a few years before returning to Williamstown, and was one of the better year-round performers in their premiership season.

Good on him - he is an honest goer and deserves all the praise he gets - great to see a guy come from outside the conventional system to become a player.

Was terrific last night.

Funny how we get regular "why did we cut Rupe" threads, yet here's a guy who we cut and he recovered to become an integral part of Port.
Meanwhile Rupe has done..........??

Heath Shaw will do the job on him next week...saints do not have a medium sized defender. Their defence is quite undermanned. We have multiple options.

Next week, Wakelin will most likely come back into the side to help tame Lade, Tredrea, White, Mahoney, Motlop and even Chad Cornes. Interesting to see whether harry will retain his spot.

i think harry will lose his spot next week... he had a touch of the fumbles this week...

Nah it was just one passage of play where that happened. Otherwise he's reasonably cool under pressure for a player with his (lack of) experience.

Port have lost Brogan and Wakelin (suspended) so they are not that tall.

Valid point Eunos. I agree. However it may be argued that Rupe was a better player at Collingwood than Josh was, and as much as I "liked" Rupe, he was not the way forward for the Pies and his total worth was probably vindicated by the lack of clubs interested in him on his delisting. Tough luck in the hard world of footy hey!

Set up an art exhibition in Richmond.

Unlucky not to be listed.

Just looking at 'family ties' ahead of the 2023 Draft

Elliot Mahoney's father Josh is Essendon's football manager.
Josh played in Port Adelaide's premiership side in 2004 (where he racked up 7 possessions), but played 97 games across his three-club career with Collingwood, the Bulldogs and Power.

I honestly can't remember Josh Mahoney. He played two seasons with us over 1997-98 for 19 games, before being traded / let go early during the new Malthouse regime.

Drafted in 1996:
84 Josh Mahoney Collingwood Williamstown 1996
85 Brad Scott Hawthorn Hawthorn Reserves 1996
86 Ben Parker Adelaide Murray U18 1996
87 Brad Fuller Collingwood NSW-ACT U18 1996
88 Phillip Smith Hawthorn West Perth 1996
89 Dwayne Griffin Collingwood Swan Districts 1996

This says it all about that inept **** Judkins' recruiting during the 90s.
IIRC Mahoney was traded to Footscray late 1998, in exchange for Tyson Lane, which at the time I was absolutely stoked with.
